Education Track PhD in Anatomy - Indiana University School of Medicine

The Department of Anatomy and Cell Biology at the Indiana University School of Medicine is pleased to announce the creation of an Education Track PhD Program for individuals who desire careers in anatomical teaching and educational scholarship. This new career track is justified by the growing demand in the nation's health professional schools for highly-qualified educators in Gross Anatomy and the other anatomical disciplines. The goal is to create a cadre of doctoral-level anatomy educators who are capable of teaching all of the anatomical disciplines to undergraduate, graduate, or professional students, and who are capable of producing the high-quality educational research and other scholarly work necessary for promotion and tenure. Developed in cooperation with the Indiana University School of Education, this five-year program will provide students with extensive training in the anatomical sciences, coupled with coursework in pedagogy, curriculum development, learning theory, educational assessment, and statistics. Students will participate in supervised teaching experiences in Gross Anatomy, Histology, and Neuroscience. After admission to doctoral candidacy, students will complete a rigorous dissertation in medical education research.

The Department of Cell Biology and Anatomy at LSU Health Sciences Center has created two tracks for graduate training: a Program in Development, Cell Biology, and Neurobiology and a Program in Clinical Anatomy. The Program in Clinical Anatomy is newly created, designed to meet the increasingly critical need in the United States to identify instructors who are trained to teach the discipline of Gross Anatomy.

The Program in Clinical Anatomy will feature clinically-oriented, cadaver-based training in human gross anatomy in order to provide fundamentals for teaching the anatomical basis of clinical medicine. The program will emphasize clinical application of basic anatomical concepts through the use of cadaver dissection supplemented with computer-aided software programs, clinical correlations, case studies, developmental anatomy, radiographic anatomy, cross-sectional anatomy, and instruction in performing anatomically-based clinical procedures. Students will take a set of core courses which will include Medical Gross Anatomy, Human Prenatal Development, Neuroanatomy, Cell Biology and Microscopic Anatomy and either Physiology or Pathology. Students will gain experience teaching gross anatomy to students in a variety of health care professions at different levels by assisting in Medical, Dental, Nursing, and/or Allied Health Gross Anatomy. They may attain more advanced knowledge by enrolling in advanced courses within the department. Students will be offered the opportunity to work with physicians practicing in surgical specialties to enhance their insight into the clinical relevance of anatomy. In addition, students will receive supplemental instruction in contemporary teaching modalities, the use of computers as a teaching tool, anatomical imaging, computer software programs, lecture preparation, and other instructional aids and methodology.

The program is designed for those students interested in either a M.S. Degree or a Ph.D.in Cell Biology and Anatomy with an emphasis in Clinical Anatomy. M.S. Degree candidates will be expected to complete a thesis project which may be in the areas of clinical anatomy, instructional technology or traditional biomedical research. Those who wish to pursue the Ph.D. will complete a research-based dissertation in anatomy (possibly in conjunction with a clinical department) or in any of the biomedical research areas emphasized in the department, including development, cell biology, and neurobiology.

Additional information is available on the Department Cell Biology and Anatomy web site.

The program is a two-year, full-time program devoted to the discipline of teaching anatomical sciences in clinical settings. It includes academic, pedagogical, and scholarly components. The program leads to a Master of Science degree in Clinical Anatomy. The graduate of the program will have expertise and experience to teach human gross anatomy, neuroanatomy, embryology and histology in a variety of educational and healthcare settings.

The program is rigorous, and students are selected on a competitive basis for limited openings. Applicants are chosen based upon academic credentials and an interview with the selection committee. M.S.C.A. student responsibilities include teaching in laboratories and lectures of various anatomical sciences courses, both at NYCC and at our partner institutions, which include the Albert Einstein College of Medicine and The SUNY Upstate Health Sciences University. Additionally, students are responsible for the design and completion of a master’s thesis.

Applicants must hold a Doctor of Chiropractic degree and have successfully completed all National Board examinations. It is recommended that the candidate have at least a 3.0 overall chiropractic college GPA and must have an anatomy cumulative GPA of at least 3.0.

The Master’s degree programs prepare students for teaching, research and additional education. Many students go on to earn advanced professional and academic degrees (M.D., D.O., D.D.S., and Ph.D.).

The Doctoral program emphasizes training in clinical human anatomy and independent research for individuals seeking careers in medical school or university teaching.
